Golden Hawaiian Bamboo – Bambusa vulgaris ‘Vittata’
Golden Hawaiian Bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris ‘Vittata’) is one of the most striking tropical bamboo varieties, known for its bright golden-yellow culms accented with irregular green striping. The vibrant cane color and tall upright growth make it a dramatic focal point in the landscape.
This bamboo forms a large clumping grove with tall, strong culms and lush foliage. When planted in rows it can create a tall privacy screen, but it is also commonly used as a specimen plant where the colorful canes can be appreciated.
Like all bamboo we offer, Golden Hawaiian Bamboo grows in a clumping growth pattern. It expands gradually from the base rather than spreading aggressively through underground runners.
Growth Expectations
Growth rate varies depending on climate, watering, soil quality, and fertilization. In warm climates with proper care, Golden Hawaiian bamboo typically develops as follows:
| Year | Height | Culm Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 6–10 feet | Up to ¾ inch |
| Year 2 | 12–20 feet | Up to 1 inch |
| Year 3+ | 30–40+ feet | Up to 2 inches |
Best Uses
- Tall privacy screens and living fences
